Applications are invited for a full-time research assistant position in the laboratory of Catarina Gadelha, to join a programme of research on key aspects of African trypanosome surface membrane biology. For this extracellular parasite, the cell surface is the primary point of interaction between the organism and the environment – that being the human host or the fly vector. Successful infection and transmission rely on the molecular interactions that take place at this interface. The post holder will provide research support to the group, being involved in a programme of work funded by the BBSRC to understand and disrupt the trypanosome cell surface, with an emphasis on pump-priming vaccine development. The post will support exciting projects using host infections, quantitative proteomics, molecular cell biology and bioinformatic approaches.
This post is available on a fixed term until 30/04/2025. Hours of work are full time (36.25 hours). Job share arrangements may be considered.
